DONNA - WOMAN

L'eleganza di una donna - The elegance of a woman

Vorrei ragionare qui un istante

Il coerente giovare di noi donne

Vaneggiar i propri corpi senz’amante

Cercando accettazione sotto gonne

Oggettivazione automatica

D’immagine creata e poi usata

Per compiacere il vuoto che critica

E la giudica, ma mai amata

Oh uomo, chiedi all’anziana stanca venia

Lei disprezza l’accontentar facile

lei elegante senza te è plenia

sai, Lei non accetta esser docile

Dentro piange ma grata si consola

Modella e modello anche se sola

_English translation (by me and an extra help)

Let me reflect here just a deteiled while,

The constant benefit of women’s way,

Raving our bodies, loveless, void of smile

Seeking acceptance underneath the sway.

Automatic objectification born,

An image crafted, then consumed again,

To please the void that mocks with spite and scorn,

That judges harshly, yet withholds all gain.

Oh man, entreat the weary elder’s grace,

She scorns the easy path of meek desire;

She, elegant, stands whole in her own space,

Nor yields to docile chains that men require.

Inside she weeps, yet grateful, she endures—

A model, whole, though solitude assures.
